What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — a tier shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 189 minutes of total nursing care per day, about 52 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, 27 minutes come from a registered nurse, compared to 37 minutes at the 4-star threshold in Texas.
Three administrators have left in the past year. Frequent leadership turnover tends to ripple into day-to-day operations — care plans, staff assignments, and vendor relationships all run through that role.
CMS recorded two fines totaling $51,291 since the facility's most recent processing date. The state median fine total for Texas nursing homes that receive any fine is $20,699; this facility's total is roughly 2.5 times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is running at approximately 36% of its licensed 105 beds, with an average of 38 residents per day. That is well below typical occupancy for a nursing home of this size.

Questions to ask when you tour
Three administrators in one year
CMS records show three administrator departures in the past year — ask who the current administrator is, how long they have been in the role, and what prompted the changes.
Why occupancy is so low
Only about 38 of 105 beds are filled; ask whether the low census reflects a planned reduction in services, staffing constraints, or difficulty attracting referrals.
Details behind the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $51,291 are on record — ask what deficiencies triggered them and what specific changes were made in response.
Registered nurse coverage on evenings and weekends
Reported RN hours average 27 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is on-site during evening shifts and on weekends.
Management company's role day to day
Cameron I Enterprises manages operations while the Winniestowell Hospital District holds the license — ask which entity sets staffing levels and handles compliance decisions.
No Family Council currently in place
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask whether one is planned and how families currently raise concerns about care.
